ALONG WITH THE USUAL ENTRIES IN THE SLIM>CONF SESSIONS LINE. And the problem with kalu giving authentication failure error was solved by putting "/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1" in the autostart config file of openbox.

OK, there's some basic things about Arch that you seem to be completely missing. First, the install media or the kernel version don't matter. You can't be running 2013.01.04 release, because there is no release. It doesn't matter if you used the install media from a few days ago or from last August, you would end up with the same system installed as it gets that info from the repos.

It implies that you installed the system fresh in the last 11 days, in which case systemd would have been the default init system. On the other hand, you had consolekit, which means you didn't just install.

What is the output of cat /proc/1/comm

[rahul@archlinux ~]$ cat /proc/1/commsystemd

okay so i have systemd. No policykit error comes in xfce desktop and kalu asks for password before upgrading its only in th openbox session that this problem comes and because I want to use openbox so i have to correct it and also when i exit openbox it takes me to xfce4 desktop instead of slim login page.

Don't bother about the wrong rtc time my cmos battery is dead, but ntp is enabled and synchronized so with in 10 sec after boot time gets corrected. Anyway, active=yes, so now what should I do ? On second thought Is there anyway i can run "hwclock -w" command automatically after boot or Is ntpd doing the same job ?

rsplenum, you didn't answer the big question, though; have you upgraded to systemd yet?

I am running 2013.01.04 release with kernel: 3.6.11 so I guess systemd is included in it.

re: kalu it sounds like you might not have a polkit agent (e.g. polkit-gnome) running (to ask for your password) so the auth process fails. Assuming it is installed (and used on xfce4) it might just be that you need to e.g. add it to your autostart when using openbox...

I have added polkit-gnome and polkit to openbox autostart but still the same problem persists and kalu is giving the same error, also the other day I couldn't login to either xfce or openbox and i had to edit the ~/.xinitrc file to add dbus-launch before openbox-session to log in to openbox but now when I exit openbox ir takes me to xfce4 desktop instead of slim login screen. I just don't understand what to do, any suggestion is welcome.

1. I have openbox and xfce4 installed with slim login manager and I am using openbox standalone WM, but when I try to log in to xfce4, it logs me in to openbox and then I as i exit openbox i fall back to xfce4, its like slim is logging me in to both xfce4 and openbox. My ~/.xinitrc file is:

2. I have kalu installed and it works perfectly on xfce4 with system updrade, AUR packages upgrades working and when I perform system upgrade it asks me for password and then upgrades the system, BUT in openbox when I try to upgrade it gives me error:
